Poke Cakes

Poke cakes are what happen when cake gives up its secrets and lets the good stuff soak all the way in. You bake it, poke it full of holes like you mean it, and pour something sweet over the top until it turns tender and dramatic. These cakes are messy in the best way—extra, nostalgic, and wildly popular with people who “don’t even like cake.” No restraint. No crumbs left behind.
